Following up on Professor Wood’s 2016 Beyond the Ballpark: The Honorable, Immoral, and Eccentric Lives of Baseball Legends, which was listed in Sport’s Collector Digest’s top forty baseball books of 2016, he examines twenty-five additional legends. Included are such notables as the lovable Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, and Gil Hodges, the feisty Billy Martin, the complex Ted Williams, the tragic Shoeless Joe Jackson, the delightful Pepper Martin, and the crook Hal Chase. Wood tracks down how these players acted away from the ballpark, and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. The author also includes his pictures of all the gravesites, except for two who were not interred. There is much funny and sad stuff here.
Tombstone Whispers by Nixon's "Writing Expressions" Class Pdf
The genre of this novelette is historical fiction. The basic premise of the story was to introduce a common thread ¿ in this case reporter Stilson Hutchins ¿ that gives the reader a human interest perspective about select daily events occurring in Tombstone, Arizona, as history was being recorded during its silver glory days.
Sherry Monahan is an authority on "the city that wouldn't die" and its history. In Tombstone's Treasure, she focuses on the silver mines, one reason for the city's founding, and the saloons, the other reason the city grew so quickly. When the discovery of silver at Tombstone first became known in mid-1880, there were about twenty-six saloons and breweries. By July of the following year, the number of saloons in Tombstone had doubled. The most popular saloon games of the time were faro, monte, and poker, with some offering keno, roulette, and twenty-one. Monahan shares true tales about Tombstone's mining and gambling history and describes a different time and locale where wealthy businesspeople and rugged miners rubbed elbows at the bar and gambled side by side. It is both shocking and enlightening to learn just how sophisticated Tombstone really was when the Earps, Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Curly Bill strode the boardwalks. Tombstone actually had telephones, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, a bowling alley, and a swimming pool. Wow! It is so contrary to the Hollywood version of the town . . . but it's absolutely true."--from the Foreword by Bob Boze Bell Read Sherry Monahan's interview on AMC on the Wild West and the film Wild Bill

From the ancient Egyptian inventors of the love lyric to contemporary poets, Bending the Bow: An Anthology of African Love Poetry gathers together both written and sung love poetry from Africa. This anthology is a work of literary archaeology that lays bare a genre of African poetry that has been overshadowed by political poetry. Frank Chipasula has assembled a historically and geographically comprehensive wealth of African love poetry that spans more than three thousand years. By collecting a continent’s celebrations and explorations of the nature of love, he expands African literature into the sublime territory of the heart. Bending the Bow traces the development of African love poetry from antiquity to modernity while establishing a cross-millennial dialogue. The anonymously written love poems fromPharaonic Egypt that open the anthology both predate Biblical love poetry and reveal the longevity of written love poetry in Africa. The middle section is devoted to sung love poetry from all regions of the continent. These great works serve as the foundation for modern poetry and testify to love poetry’s omnipresence in Africa. The final section, showcasing forty-eight modern African poets, celebrates the genre’s continuing vitality. Among those represented are Muyaka bin Hajji and Shaaban Robert,two major Swahili poets; Gabriel Okara, the innovative though underrated Nigerian poet; Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first president of Senegal and a founder of the Negritude Movement in francophone African literature; Rashidah Ismaili from Benin; Flavien Ranaivo from Madagascar; and Gabeba Baderoon from South Africa. Ranging from the subtly suggestive to the openly erotic, this collection highlights love’s endurance in a world too often riven by contention. Bending the Bow bears testimony to poetry’s role as conciliator while opening up a new area of study for scholars and students.

Don't Be Afraid, Son. Gunfighter's Graveyard. If you like an Old Western Horror Gunfighter Novel with over 100,000 words. Then this book would be a good find? It came in a four-book series based on four different town scenarios. Different lawmen and evil gunmen will find one another in a gunfight to the death. Each will wake from a coma, dark deep sleep, or be sent back by the devil that made him raise his gun in the first place against good. A graveyard on the hill in town wakes. After a storm hit the town that same night. One grave began to wake with a hand blanketed in mud. One hand, then the other grabbed the wet mud earth or a branch on a tree in the ground. He crawled to his feet in old cowboy muddy boots. A tall, dark man stood in the drizzling rain, and his head tilted back. His stare on the night stars in the skies. The mud, dirt, and decaying tissue fell from his face and hands. One other began to rise from the same graveyard behind him. He stared at the same night sky as if something spoke to him from a place in between heaven and earth. One of them opened his arms. Each palm lifted and opened high in the dark. He opened his mouth to wash death still lingering on his tongue and lips. One other gunfighter crawled to his feet through the drizzling rain. Each gunfighter took a deep breath for the first time since he died huuu. Three men in dark cowboy boots and clothes take that first breath that opens his eyes in a bulge. Three Gunfighters Leave the cemetery behind the first gunfighter that left the wet Earth. The first gunfighter growls in the direction of the Town toward the bottom of the Hill. I will be there soon, Townspeople! As a faint heartbeat begins. His chest began to pulsate with heartbeats slowly. His heartbeat told the other men that their hearts would also be beating. Each footstep's heel on his boot kicked at the ground. One gunfighter behind the other pretends to tiptoe into town as the drizzling rain covers them like a blanket. Each gunfighter covers his head with a hat and long coat to keep the water from splashing against his chest. Each man wore a black hat, a long shin-length coat, and cowboy boots. Beneath, he wore a blue jean shirt and pants. Some are darker than others. The third cowboy with long chocolate brown shoulder-length hair stares forward in a baby blue dead-eyed stare. One behind the other, they vanish in a cloud of drizzling rain. Behind them on the other half of the cemetery. One other had risen through the wet mud earth. He also crawled to his feet in a pair of black cowboy boots. A Shiny Gun, Badge, and a Winchester lay on the wet mud. A man in a Marshall's Badge in Dark Brown Leather lifts it off the wet ground. One other man with a Badge followed the Marshall. One after him also crawled to his feet. They begin to leave the cemetery like the other men before them. They reach the road that leads into town. The rain cleansed Each in a Badge on the way into the town. Each with a hat, Winchester at his side, and a shiny gun. The sound of a Stagecoach made them listen and look. A Stagecoach hidden in the drizzling rain made them stare into the falling rain. The sound of a hyena laughing inside made Law Men Reach for his Rifle. The sound of wicked men rose from a stagecoach as it drew closer. I'm coming to town, Marshall. I'll be waiting, Gunfighter! I will bring a few friends. I will too. Will see which one of us will reach the Gunfighter's Graveyard. I will be waiting like I do every 58 years of lawman! Come out and play Marshall, sheriff, and do not forget to bring your deputies. We will be waiting. Did I shoot the sheriff haha? Of course, I did. It was me? The stagecoach, hidden in the falling rain, roared by as a sound of a hyena laughing left them in awe. It continued to roar toward the town in the falling rain and vanishes.

As the fiftieth anniversary of the People's Republic of China approaches on October 1, 1999, Jan Wong reflects on her body of work as a foreign correspondent there. Despite the fact that everything is changing, she discovers that not much really changes, and what she wrote several years ago about love, work and living still holds, as do the conflicts over who rules, who survives, and who gets the bigger slice of Peking Duck. From a peasant tax revolt through the new consumerism (ads on television!) to the closeted world of Chinese gays, Jan Wong's China is a highly personal account of a country in transition. Its perspective is shaped by the author's six-year reporting stint, her life in Beijing in the '70s as a student and a Maoist, and her return visit to China in the spring of 1999. Employing humour and behind-the-scenes detail, Jan Wong brilliantly weaves her adventures into a rich journalistic tapestry.
